Exploring the circular – generating routes for future exploration

Curiosity, exploratory drive, and determined persistence define Dame Ellen MacArthur’s remarkable story of sailing the world. And while her feat was tremendous, for me it pales in comparison to the mission that her journey revealed to her. MacArthur experientially discovered that the world is, in fact, circular and not flat. From that experience and developed capacity, MacArthur poses a small set of exemplar “What if” questions from which we might all derive navigational inspiration for the courses we set and support in our own lives and work.

But what inspired me most about the circular economywas its ability to inspire young people.When young people see the economy through a circular lens,they see brand new opportunities on exactly the same horizon.They can use their creativity and knowledgeto rebuild the entire system,and it’s there for the taking right now,and the faster we do this, the better.
